MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. (WWSB) - The School District of Manatee County and LECOM Park have agreed to double the attendance for upcoming graduation ceremonies to be held at the ballpark the first week of June.
In addition, Manatee High School will also significantly expand attendance for their graduation ceremony, which will be held on the school’s campus in Hawkins Stadium.
The expansion in access to graduation ceremonies is due to the recent relaxation of COVID-19 guidelines by the CDC, especially regarding individuals who have been fully vaccinated.
